The Application Failed To Initialize Properly (0xc0000135).

Hi, this is my first post and i hope its in the right thread.
im a newbie just starting out
im running xp home edition and using MS Visual Studio .net 2003 AE
i made a simple application that runs well on my computer but on other computers they get this error ...

The Application Failed To Initialize Properly (0xc0000135). Click on ok to terminate the application.

> it ran fine on my machine but when run on another pc it kept displaying that error msg?
I assume the "AE" means academic edition, in which case you're probably breaking the licence terms.
One of these terms being that you're not allowed to redistribute any executable programs you create to other people.

A DLL (dynamic link code library) that your program uses is not found on the target machine. Since this is a .NET application you probably need to install the .NET Framework on the target machine. If you create a native or Win32 application you should not have this problem but you still need to be careful about which function you use.

This is because not all Windows functions are available on all platforms. The required platform is listed at the bottom of the documentation page for each function.

jeez those were speedy replys, thanks
btw the AE means Architect Enterprise edition. I was just trying to get to grip with Forms.
I tryed the win32 projects and win32 console projects but found that Windows forms was a bit easier to create.
is there much difference between them?
thanks
